Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

Could be a great shout that. Staying on close second to Disko last time out really good form in the context of this race. I like Min but he’s unproven at the trip (at championship pace up the hill), and the race could still cut up a bit. Think Un De Sceaux is vulnerable this time around if good ground

I think un de sceaux vulnerable too. Good performance last year against a fair field I just think he won't get away with the keen tactics of last year against a stronger field.

I can see bally oision going close in something like the kinloch brae at thurles in January and you may find like last year the winner could step up to the gold cup trip. Leaving him the next best. He has a big scalp in him with a clear round.
 
Robin Roe has moved to Olly Murphy! Didn't realise that .... neither did Matt Chapman On The Line haha

Was it Skelton who used to have him?... was looking forward to him running at cheltenham last year until the injury came. Whens he due out?

He didn't know.... he did say at the time of the Challow Hurdle he was the most exciting horse in the yard...
 
I read Olly Murphy's blog earlier and he says they may run him in the spring or they could wait until next season
 
Vroum vroum mag stayers hurdle. 210.0
I can't see all the mullins mares lining up to take Apple's jade on. So I could see her or let's dance going stayers .
I'd probably send vroum vroum chasing and target the plate personally.

Pretty confident I've seen Mullins say Let's Dance will be going for the OLGB Mares race .... free's VVM up for sure. I would also get VVM back over a fence, and I genuinly think people have forgotten how much BETTER she was over a fence than a hurdle... I honestly think it'd take a good one to give her 7lbs in a Ryanair (although there would inevitably be one).

What is her Chase mark? I'd love to see her over a fence again!

Mullins says a lot of things, although he may be honest at that time, his plans change day by day.
153 over fences would look workable.

She'll be battling it out with Benie Des Dieux over the last as they loom up either side of Djakadam, UDS and Min.


I have already backed VVM on the exchanges for the Ryanair :devilish:

Haha. In all fairness iv only just noticed her entry in the john durkan. I can see benie des dieux going to fairy house the weekend after the festival. A cracking mares program and very good prize money.

I wonder if Black Hercules will make it back. Bit of a leap but Wylie has nothing in the Ryanair and there are 3 figure odds around... JLT winner 2 years ago. Gets a mention in the stable tour saying he won the JLT and hope to have him back...

One I considered. He was 7/1 this time last year. I wouldn't knock it at close to 3 figures but not one for me.

Surprised to see Yorkhill's price in the Gold Cip market on the exchanges. Best price 8/1 but 12/1 on the exchange... All he needs is to be confirmed for a chase and surely he's in to 6/1 best priced? PP shortest too?

I believe that's where he will be targeted no doubt. 12/1
Stamina doubts. Idling on the run in. People undecided where he goes. I can see why he's 12/1 but if you fancy him I wouldn't put you off. Bound to shorten up on declarations for his next race
